Bayer 04 mourn the loss of former president
Bayer 04 mourn the loss of Dr. Jürgen Schwericke, who passed away at the end of August at the age of 86.
Dr. Schwericke, employed by Bayer AG from 1960 and up to 1994 as the head company lawyer, was the president of the Sportvereinigung Bayer 04 Leverkusen from 1975 to 1984. "We have to thank his creative energy for promotion from Bundesliga Division 2 North to the Bundesliga in 1979. The club laid the foundations for future success under his leadership," said Bayer 04 CEO Michael Schade.
At Bayer 04 home games, Dr. Schwericke often used to leave his seat in the stands and go down to the running track to support the team at pitch level. Dr. Schwericke also made a name for himself in local government politics in Leverkusen: The Berliner was on the City Council as a member of the CDU group from 1975 to 1990.
Bayer 04 want to preserve the memory of Dr. Jürgen Schwericke in an appropriate manner.

Werkself Review #B04FCB: 'Played with structure, passion and power'
After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
